The deal was <a href="https://www.cryptoknowmics.com/news/sbi-remit-partners-coins-ph-and-sbi-vc-trade-marks-first-odl-service-by-ripple/">established</a> through SBI Ripple Asia, a joint venture between SBI Holdings and Ripple.

Through the collaboration, GME Remittance is looking to connect with existing RippleNet customers to expand into additional remittance corridors across Asia and globally, including Europe and the U.S, per the release.

Following the partnership, Subash Chandra Poudel, Director and COO at Global Money Express Co. Ltd said that by becoming part of the RippleNet network, GME Remittance could open new remittance corridors across the globe:

<em>“We chose Ripple as our partner because with RippleNet we can launch into new countries with new partners within 1-2 weeks. This has drastically reduced the time to market and provides us with an edge compared to our competitors.”</em>
<h2><strong>Ripple's Dominance in Asia</strong></h2>
Ripple has formed major partnerships this year, boosting the adoption of RippleNet and XRP. For instance, last month, Ripple collaborated with Japan’s SBI Remit and the Philippines-based Coins.ph for the launch of RippleNet’s first live On-Demand Liquidity (ODL) service implementation in Japan. The distributed ledger company already has a strong presence in South Korea with Coinone Transfer, Sentbe, and Hanpass.
